Bitcoin briefly dips below $84,000 as long liquidations hit $487M
The lopsided split between long and total liquidations shows this was a leverage flush rather than a broad repricing, with the damage concentrated in crowded bullish positioning. The scale of forced selling relative to the modest dip suggests the move was amplified by derivatives, not driven by spot demand. Whether open interest and funding rebuild quickly or stay defensive is the open question for near-term volatility.
